Jurisdiction per § 35.043, Fla. Stat. (six-district alignment eff. Jan. 1, 2023).
Provenance attributed 2026-08-08: named on the 17th Circuit's official Office of the Chief Judge page (https://www.17th.flcourts.org/office-of-the-chief-judge/) (sha256 recorded). Roster facts render; the 17th publishes judges by division, not per-judge bios.
16 verified rules specific to this judge's division, grouped by requirement category. 1,701 total requirements apply in this courtroom across all layers — the Full Premium Report assembles the complete stack.
Compared against 13 judges currently sitting in the same divisions: Shari Africk-Olefson, Martin Bidwill, John B. Bowman, Daniel A. Casey, Michael Davis, N. Hunter Davis, Fabienne E. Fahnestock, Keathan B. Frink, David A. Haimes, Jeffrey R. Levenson, Michael A. Robinson, Carlos Augusto Rodriguez, Michele Towbin Singer.
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 6 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.

No requirement category is unique to this judge among current division peers — the traps here are shared, not judge-specific.
Shared categories (Divisional Instructions, Special Set Hearings, Remote / Zoom Hearings, Judge Preferences, Motion Calendar, Case Management, Trial Exhibits, Meet & Confer, Proposed Orders, Courtesy Copies) still differ in the details — read the requirement cards, not just the labels.
No judge-level deadline on record runs shorter than a statewide deadline with the same trigger. The sentinel compares quoted timing across every published rule scoped to this judge on each visit — a clean result today is re-earned tomorrow.
